On the heels of an 18-month-old girl getting kicked off a plane for appearing on the Transportation Security Administration’s no-fly list, Fox News host Geraldo Rivera shared his own TSA experience where he claimed he “got manually raped by a guy” who was “getting off on it.”

“I was on the no-fly list,” Rivera told the “Fox and Friends” hosts Friday. “For a long time when they first computerized the no-fly list, I would get my boarding pass and it would have three ‘S’s.”

He said every time he flew he would be “shuffled off” for additional screening and questioning until he started complaining about it on television.

“He wanted to make sure…” host Steve Doocy offered.

“But making sure is one thing,” Rivera said. “This guy, it seemed to me, was getting off on it, I — ”

“Oh my gosh,” host Gretchen Carlson laughed.
